Sounds like You have parity simms or need parity simms and your computer needs or doesn't need parity ram.... check your motherboard and see if it needs parity ram, check to see if you have parity ram, also you might check your BIOS and see if it has parity checking off or on. On old machines I have that problem with Win95 on them, because the ram is bad. -Chris On Mon, 18 Nov 1996 10:53:27 -0800, seldon@swbell.net wrote: >When I cold boot and run windows I get the following message, > >PARITY ERROR >SYSTEM HALTED > >but if I warm boot, windows runs fine. > >Thinking this was a RAM Hardware problem, I took it to my PC dealer. >They say all hardware checks out fine and that I'm probably loading >too much in conventional mem.
